SAN DIEGO – Rob Jones and De’Jon Jackson keyed a big second-half run for the San Diego Toreros, who stunned No. 20 Gonzaga 69-62 to win the West Coast Conference tournament championship game Monday night and clinch their first NCAA tournament berth since 2003.

The scrappy Toreros (21-13), went on a 19-4 run in the second half to take control and give first-year coach Bill Grier a victory over his old boss, Gonzaga’s Mark Few.

USD had lost 13 in a row to Gonzaga (25-7) since upsetting them in the 2003 tournament title game.

The Toreros, holding a comfortable lead in the final minute, put an emphatic stamp on the upset. Gyno Pomare had a fast-break slam dunk with 25 seconds left, then pumped his fists after making two free throws. Trumaine Johnson had another slam with 7.9 seconds and hung on the rim. He also drew a technical foul.

The students then rushed the court after the final buzzer and delayed the trophy presentation ceremony for several minutes.

Gonzaga now must wait for an at-large invitation, which will be its 10th consecutive NCAA appearance. It was trying for their fifth consecutive league title and ninth in 10 years.
